From Late Feb 09
The potential merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster will face off against the Department of Justice tomorrow as the Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights will decide whether the two concert industry superpowers can join forces or if whether the merger violates monopoly laws.
The hearing will be titled “The Ticketmaster/Live Nation Merger: What Does it Mean for Consumers and the Future of the Concert Business?” Confirmed witness include Ticketmaster CEO Irving Azoff, Live Nation president Michael Rapino, JAM Productions chairman Jerry Mickelson and the Center of American Progress’ David A. Balto, Pollstar reports.
Live Nation and Ticketmaster shocked the music industry a few weeks back when they announced plans to merge their competing companies, just months after Live Nation broke away from Ticketmaster and established its own ticketing service. What ensued was an arms race between the two companies, as Ticketmaster acquired secondary ticketing site TicketsNow and Frontline Management, while Live Nation struck deals with Blockbuster Video and signed artists like Jay-Z and Madonna to massive 360 deals. While in brief competition with one another, the two companies have stockpiled all facets of the concert industry, so the merging of the two has brought about accusations of violating antitrust laws. |

Nah, take the success that Made Event has had and multiply it by 400, across all genres of music, and that is Live Nation! I remember when they were small-time doing weekday concerts in Avalon when I worked there, they were pretty cool peeps... |

I'm pretty sure Live Nation and Ticket Master combined forces to form a giant monster promoter. |
you are absolutely correct. their hands are in music and sports now especially with the relationship with ticketmaster. they are going to make money hand over fist. |

| Hmm, maybe I missed it somewhere within these pages, but I thought whenever Paul van Dyk is here, Madeevents are the ones who book him. Why now that it's someone else? |
